The chief executive of the Tideway project in London has reportedly been awarded a £600,000 pay rise whilst the total cost of the project has been revealed to have risen by £100 million.
Now said to have cost £5 billion, the Thames Tideway Tunnel, known as London’s super sewer, is part of an effort to reduce pollution and clean the city’s river. Launched in 2024, it has been seen as a crucial upgrade to the capital’s sewage system as it aims to capture and store excess raw sewage when the network is overwhelmed to prevent it from flowing into the Thames.
